News and Other Updates SUMMER, 2008 Thank you all for your attendance in our May 24th, 2008 conference. We very much hope that you'll be able to attend in 2009. Official invitations will be sent our by mail and email sometime in January, 2009. You can join our mailing list and get the latest information about our conference. It's easy to subscribe and unsubscribe. Conference Information for WHSMUN VII in 2009 Whitney High School's late May conference focuses on specialized committees and "International Gaming". We are not a traditional Model United Nations conference with familiar, pure academic committees. At the end of the year, most delegates are "M.U.N.'ed out" and enjoy a bit of break from the ordinary.
We don't require position papers at our conference because of the unique nature of most of our committees.
Tentative Conference Schedule:
Individual delegate fee: $20.00. Checks are preferred to cash. Please address check to "Whitney High School".
School fee: $20.00
Lunch choices: We usually serve Subway or Quiznos boxed lunches, which includes the sandwich itself, chips, a big cookie, and a drink. Choices include--Turkey Club / Italian / Honey Ham / Vegetarian. It's very important for you to let us know about two weeks before the conference how many of what your delegation would like and keep a list so we can give tickets for the orders. If you don't order in advance we'll give you tickets for turkey and vegetarian only, just in case. Last year we didn't get all of your orders and fell short--but everyone got fed!
At lunch: Our lunch is an hour and fifteen minutes in order to give us time for our traditional lunchtime activities. They include ethnic dancers from our Korean, Chinese, Indian, and Filipino groups (last year we couldn't have them). We'll also have a DJ and end-of-the-year dance.
Awards: Awards in all committees will be determined based on performance and ability. Cooperation rather than showboating or "hard balling" will be rewarded. Certificates will be given for commendable and outstanding delegate work. Gavels will be rewarded in all committees.
We define a large or small school delegation based on the physical number of delegates brought to our conference. If for example, Tustin High school, which has a huge MUN program, brings in 70 delegates, it would be designated as a large school. However, if Tustin brings in only 5 delegates, they would be eligible for the small school delegation award. We cannot tell you what the cut off for large or small delegations are until the acutal day of the conference!
Please help us! Like all MUN Secretariats, we strive for fair and balanced chairs and judgment of delegate performance. We aren't perfect and sometimes we might not notice something in committee that you do. If there is a question about procedure, bias, etc. please let your advisor know so he can get in touch with our advisor, who will then deal with the issue. We'll do our best to keep delegates from wasting time as well!
